3 Stübers - Frederick Alexander

正面描述	Quartered shield of arms surmounted by a ornate comital crown, the escutcheon displaying the four-fold armorial bearings of the Counts of Wied-Neuwied, flanked by elaborate foliate and scrollwork mantling. The initials 'G' and 'W' appear in the field to either side of the crown, serving as abbreviated elements of the surrounding legend. The overall composition is rendered in a robust baroque style characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century German minor coinage.

附加信息	Frederick Alexander ruled Wied-Neuwied as a minor Rhenish county within the Holy Roman Empire, and small-denomination silver issues like this 3 Stüber piece reflect the fragmented monetary reality of mid-eighteenth century Germany, where hundreds of petty lords retained the right to strike coin. The Stüber — a Low German variant of the Stuiver — circulated across the northwestern Rhine territories in direct competition with Dutch and Prussian issues of similar face value. Production across just three years suggests either a specific fiscal need or the straightforward exhaustion of a single mint contract.
